Just jumping in with my fave sweets, (just because the others are women :}~) They have brought out (not new i know) mint balls, which are the aero mint bars, but i still love them. Those hard candy ciggy sticks with cards in them, and the bubble gun you used to be able to get with Starwars, Startrek, Blackhole (showing age now) stickers (no idea what Americans call them) the ones you get now don't come with gum.

There were so many.  I remember going to the candy store, when a quarter would buy a bag full of candy.   I liked the candy necklaces, flying saucers (wafers with little candy beads inside), candy cigarettes and jaw breakers.

what is your favorite candy from your younger years?


Nerds. The purple and pink ones.

I LOVE sweettarts, cherry and grape.  [sm=dance.gif] I don't think they make cherry anymore, replacing it with strawberry (bleck).

As a kid, I remember using my allowance to buy one of the big sweettarts and taking a couple of days to eat it. [:)]

Oh and Pez dispensers are my yearly threat to my family.  I like shopping early and really put a great deal of thought into the gifts I get for each person, and like to hear their wants/needs, etc.... So if they don't give me some ideas, I tell them they are getting a Pez dispenser for Christmas.  They thought I was joking, but one year, 5 members of my family got a Pez dispenser for their gift.  LOL!  [:D]

Imagine the guilty pleasure that could cause for a Presbyterian girl!  hehe

On a side note, my brother and I used to play communion.  We would read from the bible and serve grape juice and bread.

My favorite uncommon candy was Bun, particularly Maple Bun. The candy was considered a step above others. Their price was double other candies and their shape (round candy in a square package) didn't fit vending machines which may have led to their demise.

Buns were milk chocolate combining peanuts with a maple (or vanilla or caramel) center and goooood.

I seem to recall Bun was made by the Wayne Candy Company in Fort Wayne, Indiana and the last time I saw them was when Drug Emporium and Pharmor were still alive.

I love those smarties..my kids get them alot and they are a bit sour but good...i miss mary janes, they are so hard to find around here..



Petruchio -> RE: Pez---favorite candy from your younger years? (12/8/2006 10:36:14 AM)

Cattail was a crispy toasted coconut candy that really looked like wetlands cattails.

Zero and Payday weren't favorites, but they had a following. Some kids like licorice ropes (red and black) and I actually bound the wrists of a little girl back then with licorice rope. I also used to see large flat sheets of some kind of fruit candy, but I wasn't sure what it was.

I used to like a particular type of intense mint but I don't recall the brand. It looked like a short, fat piece of chalk and was slightly chalky in texture, but I loved the stiff mint bite it had. Years later, I encountered the mints in the South where they were offered in Morrison's Cafeterias.

dcnovice -> RE: Pez---favorite candy from your younger years? (12/8/2006 10:38:51 AM)

Malt balls in my Easter basket (and my sibs' baskets too, when they weren't looking).



Petruchio -> LIME LIQUIDS (12/8/2006 10:58:10 AM)

I feel soooo infantile for bringing this up, but I use to love the so-called 'lime' flavor of Kool-Aid (and Jell-o)).

The taste wasn't lime at all and most people just called the flavor 'green' and it was soooo good.

The green flavor has long disappeared but the memory lingers.

Likewise the original Tang flavor has gone bye-bye although the company used the formula for a while in generic and store-branded labels. The replacement insipid flavor has no 'tang' to it at all.

There was also some kind of sweet alka-seltzer like pellets you could drop into water. Were those called Fizzies?

One last fad was flavored straws for milk, chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry.

Boy: Mr. Turtle ? How many licks does it take to get to the tootsie roll center of a tootsie pop ?
Mr. Turtle : I don't know. Why don't you go ask Mr. Owl.
Boy : Mr. Owl how many licks does it take to get to the tootsie roll center of a tootie pop ?
Mr. Owl : Let's find out (unwraps it and licks it once) One ... (twice) Ta-whoooo [two] ... (bites into it) three... ahem... three.
Narrator: How many licks does it take to get the tootsie roll center of a tootsie pop ? *crunch* The world may never know.
